I tried putting the javascript in the javascript.php and converted the html to a block but when I loaded the block the site would not load. Blank screen.

Now I assumed it should be that simple but as Im not that literate ... obviously its not .... LOL Smile

Simple way to do this would be using iframes. Im also not that literate, but with iframes anything is possible.

Create a new folder, lets say Google, and save the code you posted as index1.html, next create a blank file called index.html, now create an index.php and add the following:

Code:

<?php


require_once("mainfile.php");


$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));


include("header.php");


$index = 0;


OpenTable();


echo"<IFRAME src=\"/modules/Google/index1.html\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\">"


  . "<p>Your browser doesn't support frames. Click <a href=\"http://ThePageYourIncluding.com\" target=\"_blank\">here</a> to view the page.</p>"


  . "</IFRAME>";


CloseTable();


include("footer.php");





?>

So in the Google folder youll have 3 files, index.html index1.html and index.php. Now just change the settings in the above etc, dont forget your google api key in the index1...save and upload. The blank index is to prevent access to the modules dir.
